Catalytic properties the aluminum η-oxide modified by phosphomolybdic heteropolyacid in the course of isopropanol transformation were studied. It is established that modifying leads to increase in its activity and selectivity on oxygen-containing products. With application of the scanning electronic microscopy, an elemental analysis and an IR-spectroscopy textural and spectroscopical features of the aluminum modified η-oxide are revealed and the mechanism of their influence on the catalytic activity in the process of isopropyl alcohol conversion was suggested
